The
Turkish parliament is on the verge of voting on radical censorship measures
that, if approved, would allow the government to block individual URLs without
prior judicial review, mandate Internet data retention for periods of up to two
years, and consolidate Internet Service Providers (ISPs) into a single
association, among other changes. If passed, the amendments to Turkey's already restrictive Internet law would compound a dismal record on
press freedom in the country, which is the leading jailer of journalists worldwide.
Unsurprisingly, the proposed amendments are causing outrage among free
expression activists and journalists in Turkey and around the world.
